All the Shankaracharya Saraswati dandi sannyasins up to and including SBS meditate on the Saraswati bija mantra at least twice each day. This is a fact. Adi Shankara wrote "Bhaja Govindam" just before He left this world, He emphasized, above all else, the importance for developing devotion for Lord Krishna, which is the principle means for attaining the Grace for the Supreme, and the freedom from further rounds of reincarnating in material existence. It is this prayer that leaves us no doubt that his final instruction was to give up our egotistical differences and surrender to Lord Krishna. It also encapsulates the sum and substance of all Vedantic thought in whatever other works that he had written. You will not find one Shankaracharya who will deny this. http://www.stephen-knapp.com/bhaja_govindam.htm http://www.stephen-knapp.com/bhaja_govindam.htm
